Rue des Thermopyles - de l'autre côté

Rue des Thermopyles

After using a shot of this street for June CDP Theme Day's "decay," 

it seemed appropriate to show you the charming side of this street.  

It is quiet with well-manered cats wearing collars, 

green plants and herbs, window boxes, 

bicycles parked for cat-pedestals, and no cars allowed.  

This photo was taken in the fall 

and these vines should now be full of leaves and blooms.

Rue des Thermopyles - un rue qui se délabre

a decaying street

This small street outside the normal haunts of tourists 

has fallen into ruin but the quiet beauty captured me still

The City Daily Photo members are featuring "the beauty of decay" 

for theme day this month.  See the other entries here.

Rue des Thermopyles - Une porte rouge

Rue des Thermopyles

This narrow, winding street is a bit shabby-chic

but it is charming and quiet with an occasional cat looking at me

from a vine-framed window

Rue des Thermopyles - Une porte verte

In photographing the door, I almost missed the three bird houses over the portal.

I hope the inhabitants are safe from the kitty I saw a few paces away!

(I wondered if Veron was related to Lynyrd?)
